Mini Berry Cheesecakes

When you need to satisfy a cheesecake craving, turn to these easy mini berry cheesecakes with buttery graham cracker crusts and fresh whipped cream!

While I DO have a pretty intense sweet tooth, I don’t need to eat a whole half of a pie, or even a slice, to get my fill. Thanksgiving, Christmas and birthdays being the exception, of course. Bring on the apple pie, tiramisu and layer cake!

But, during the rest of the year I love, love, love mini desserts. Just a little something sweet is all you need to satiate that sweet loving demon inside and keep trim enough for tiny swimsuits!

These mini cheesecakes are sensationally simple, delicious and super versatile – Add cocoa powder to the cream cheese mixture for chocolate cheesecake, maybe? Or how about topping the little cuties with mixed berries or chopped nuts and a caramel drizzle? No? You’re tough to please.

So, go ahead, have a little cheesecake this summer as you’re slipping into sundresses and sunning outside with an icy cold margarita! Make ‘em fancy and frilly or keep ‘em casual and fuss-free, just don’t be surprised when your super impressed guests start asking for the recipe!

Directions:

In a food processor, pulse graham crackers with melted butter until you’ve achieved wet sand consistency. Place 1 tbsp. of graham cracker mixture into each cup, gently patting into the bottom and sides of each cup.

In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Mix in eggs one at a time. Add lemon juice and sugar. Beat until smooth and thoroughly combined.

Fill each baking cup 2/3 full with cream cheese mixture.

Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Cool pan completely on a rack before removing cheesecakes.

These are so pretty and I love the flavors you’ve added. Fresh fruit makes all the difference, I think.

I’m with you, I almost always need just a bit of something sweet following a meal to complete me. My husband doesn’t understand but when he has something sweet he doesn’t snack after dinner. However, I definitely blame my mom for my sweet tooth although I’m not angry about it – I love sweets!

I love cheesecake…I think it’s my favorite dessert! And minis? Even cuter..sorry I’ve been so bad about stopping by, friend. Seems like is so hectic in the summer…but looks like I popped in at a good time!!

Hi Georgia, These cheesecakes look wonderful! I love the lightness of the mango puree and the berries. Fruit-based desserts are my favorite and I adore cheesecake. My mother-in-law makes a lemon curd cheesecake that is to die for and your mini cheesecakes reminded me of my MIL’s version that she has also made in mini form. It’s the perfect size for dessert and mini sizer feel like they are made just for you. Happy summer!
